That finding was one of 31 deficiencies federal health inspectors recorded during a complaint inspection at the Spokane nursing facility on September 15, 2025.

The deficiency, cited under the nutrition and dietary category, covered several failures at once.

The numbers in Resident 21's medical record tell a stark story.

It was one of eight deficiencies inspectors cited during the visit, which was triggered by a complaint.

Level D is not the most serious classification on the federal scale, but it is not a paperwork error either.

What they found when they got there went beyond whatever triggered the visit.

The September 2025 complaint inspection documented two residents whose care plans failed them in concrete ways.

Federal health inspectors visited the facility on September 11, 2025, responding to a complaint, and left with 12 deficiencies documented.

The specific finding: the facility had not provided safe and appropriate respiratory care when a resident needed it.

The citation, issued September 15, 2025, falls under a category regulators call Resident Assessment and Care Planning Deficiencies.

The gap surfaced during a September 2025 complaint inspection at Lassen Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, a 99-bed facility on River Street.

The deficiency was not an isolated lapse.
